Aspen makes searching for books and resources easier, pulling all library resources together in one search. Patrons can create and share lists of materials and online content or peruse curated lists created by their local library staff. Readers can easily find a title in every format available, read book reviews, and even rate items and see how others have rated them. If a book or other item is unavailable, a “While you wait” feature offers suggestions for similar titles. These are just a few examples of the many features in Aspen.
